This is really made well. All the other types purchased by myself or friends break in months. This "Big Daddy" rake is the second one I have purchased. The first is still going strong with my replacing the handle twice. With heavy use the oak handle eventually breaks, but not the tool itself.

The first time I used a Big Daddy was at a trail ride. I was so impressed, I ordered 2 of them. They work so much better than the plastic ones, what you pick up, stays in the scoop, not like the plastic. I have been using mine for a couple months now and would never buy the flimsy plastic again.

Too Heavy Big Guy !Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This rake has really sturdy metal tines, which was very important to us, and a longer handle which is nice for a taller person to work with. However because of it's larger fork head-size it actually is more difficult and uncomfortable to use. We did not think the slightly heavier weight of the fork itself would make that much of a difference, but it does ! The "Missy" rake is way far better in the long run, overall.

Only Metal Fork I Can Find!Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been looking for a metal manure fork for ages and FINALLY found this! I need something more durable than the lousy plastic ones in stores, because my horse lives outside and everything freezes. The design isn't absolutely perfect, since the tines sometimes can get out of alignment and stuff can fall through the gaps on the sides, but it is the best one I have ever found and I LOVE it! And it holds more than one pile, which is nice because my other one was always just short of one pile and it was a little frustrating.

This by far the best manure fork on the market. The DuraFork tines can't hold a candle to the steel tines of this Apple Picker. The larger fork will fit almost 2 piles, which means less work. I will eventually replace all of my other forks w/ the Apple Pickers!

I HAVE USED TWO RAKES SMALLER IN SIZE THAN THIS ONE FOR 4+ YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. Â RECEIVED THE BIG DADDY APPLE PICKER ABOUT A MONTH AGO, LIKED THE SIZE BUT HAS FLIMSY FORKS BREAKING OFF TWO WIRES CLEANING WET STALLS! Â Â
